I think this is the reason when we die we'll see God, Buddha, and Mohammad discussing why the three of them decided to become Agnostic.
Lincoln, Neb. — A Nebraska state senator is gaining quite a bit of attention with a lawsuit he's filed. He's suing God.
In one claim, his accuses The Almighty of continuous terroristic threats of grave harm.
In another claim, he accuses God of directly causing floods, earthquakes, tornadoes and birth defects.
The self-proclaimed agnostic said he filed the lawsuit to make a point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.
Chambers says God can be sued in Douglas County, Nebraska, because He's everywhere.
He was upset with another lawsuit involving a 24-year-old woman who said a judge violated her free speech rights when he banned the words, "rape" and "victim" in the trial of Pamir Safi. At the time, Safi was charged with sexually assaulting the woman.
A federal judge said last week that the woman's suit may not have any legal basis unless she and her attorneys can show just cause for the lawsuit.
Chambers has served in the Nebraska Legislature since 1970.

To Harvest or not to Harvest, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The pipes and bullets of outrageous Splicers,
Or to take arms against a horde of Big Daddies,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep...

I thought it was Danny Crane...
I think a denny crane is the device used to change the sign on six-week-old breakfast restaurants after they go under and become filthy bbq's or chinese buffets.

Think he screwed his own case. Could've won by no show 'cept for this "Chambers says God can be sued in Douglas County, Nebraska, because He's everywhere."

Dammit, I live in the same city and county as this guy.
He has a long standing reputation as a sort of local nutjob. It's a sort of cute and endearing quality for a local representative, but when he gives our state a black eye on the national news level, I have to roll my eyes.

Well, lucky for God and our legal system, he can confront his accuser in trial.
*waits for God to respond*

It has Billy Colonoley in it.

Correct.
The Man Who Sued God (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268437/)
The self-proclaimed agnostic said he filed the lawsuit to make a point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.
He does have a valid point there.

Phoenix Wright should defend God. It'd be a good move in his legal career.

The followup articles gives some of the reasoning behind the original suit... to point out the ridiculousness of lawsuits by posing such an outlandish suit.
It's kind of a relief that this guy isn't as stupid/crazy as I had expected.

We could only hope for that IB as Ernie chambers is like the black sheep of nebraska, he makes the rest of us Nebraskans look bad.
I'm atheist and even I think this is stupid.
